Camino Budget Planner

Stop guessing what your Camino will actually cost. This Camino de Santiago budget planner is a fully automatic Excel spreadsheet that turns "I have no idea what to save" into a real number — in under 5 minutes, with zero spreadsheet experience needed.

Unlike a printable checklist or a blank template you have to fill in from scratch, this planner comes pre-loaded with realistic daily cost presets (Frugal, Mid-range, Comfort) so you start from a real, honest estimate — not a guess. Pick your comfort level, your route, and your dates, and every number on every tab updates instantly, live, using real formulas.

Works for every route — Camino Francés, Camino Portugués, Camino del Norte, Primitivo, Inglés, Vía de la Plata, or any custom itinerary. This isn't built for one path; it adapts to yours.

What's inside:
✔️ Start Here tab — enter your dates, route, and comfort level, see your full trip cost instantly
✔️ Before Camino tab — gear, flights, insurance, and prep costs, itemized and totaled automatically
✔️ During Camino tab — daily cost presets you can accept or override with your own numbers
✔️ Dashboard tab — total budget, funding progress, and a visual cost breakdown
✔️ Color-coded cells: gold = type here, gray = calculates for you — no tutorial required
✔️ Editable, reusable — plan a second or third Camino with the same file

Why pilgrims like this one:
Built for first-timers who don't want to become a spreadsheet expert just to plan a trip, and flexible enough for repeat pilgrims who already know what they're doing and just want the numbers to move fast. No blank grids. No "figure out your own daily cost." Just open it, type four things, and watch your whole budget appear.

Format: Instant digital download — 1 Excel (.xlsx) file, compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers. No physical item will be shipped.
